CBR to MK question

[mthomp976]

When you take the bus to MK from CBR, does it take you to the monorail station or directly to the park?

In 2006,2007 and 2009 it took us right to the park after the interal resort loop to pick up guests. Would assume it is the same still. found the buses at CRB quite good but we were in the prefered location and about the 3rd stop in the loop and usually the first stop heading home from the parks.

aw, that kinda stinks. i was hoping to take the kids on the monorail on the way to the park. oh well.

The buses take you right to MK. However, you could still take the kids on the monorail. If you get on the monorail that goes to the resorts, it will stop at each resort, making a large circle taking you back to the MK. If you get on the TTC monorail, it will make one stop at the TTC and then back to MK.

that's a good point. might do that when we leave for the day.

Do the buses pick people up for CBR at the TTC?

Hm I'm not sure. I'd guess not because there is a bus right at MK for CBR but maybe someone else on the forum knows the answer

If you wanted to split your day up between MK and Epcot, you could go to MK in the morning and then take the monorail to Epcot when you're ready. Spend time at Epcot and then take a bus back to CBR from there. Just an idea

Do the buses pick people up for CBR at the TTC?

There are ONLY 2 Disney Transport buses at the TTC. One goes between the TTC and Animal Kingdom, and the other goes between the TTC and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

There is no such thing as a bus between the TTC and a Disney owned-and-operated resort, such as Caribbean Beach Resort.

I remember during our first trip, when we stayed at CBR coincidentally, my 5 year old son was disappointed that we never rode the monorail. So after leaving the Magic KIngdom on our last night, my wife took our 2 year old daughter back to CBR by bus, and my son and I went to the monoail station to ride the loop around Seven Seas Lagoon. We got off the monorail at the same place we got on, Magic Kingdom, and then walked to the bus area and took the bus back to CBR.

There are 3 monorail lines: resort, express, and Epcot.

The resort and express monorails run paralell to each other. Both of them make a complete loop around Seven Seas Lagoon. The resort monorail runs clockwise and stops at Magic Kingdom, then Contemporary Resort, then the TTC, then Polynesian Resort, then Grand Floridian, then back to MK, and so on. The express monorail stops ONLY at the TTC and MK. It runs counter-clockwise. It chugs right past Grand Floridian and Polynesian, and chugs right THROUGH Contemporary, but doesn't stop at any of those resorts.

The Epcot beam has only 2 stops, the TTC and Epcot.

If you have time to kill one morning, you could take the bus from CBR to Epcot, then hop on the monorail from Epcot to TTC. AT the TTC, you'd need to get off that monorail train, and either go up to a different monorail platform to catch the express or resort monorail to MK (the express weill be much faster), OR you could take the ferry from the TTC to MK. Doing this will take an unnecessarily long time as compared with just taking the bus from CBR to MK, but it will give you a lot of monorail time.

So, if i take the monorail from Mk to epcot, i don't need the admission to epcot correct? I could just jump on the bus to our hotel correct?

We don't have park hopper passes.

 

[ml05ries]

The monorail exit is outside the gates so you could just hop on the bus without going into the park.

Thank you,

Another idea you can do is once you leave the Magic Kingdom ride the Resort Monorail all around, in fact it's a good excuse to visit the Contemporary, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian.
